These guys, helped by Canadian content rules, were all over the radio as I was growing up. As performed during their 1983 reunion tour, a song celebrating 50 years since its release, The Guess Who and “No Time”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqT59dDf8EU.

Oh yeah. I loathe CHOM our ‘classic rock station’ in Montreal, for that very reason. First off, remove the ‘classic’ from your title and play the good stuff that is out there! And just so you know, CHOM peeps? Led Zeeppelin has more than five songs, AC/DC has ore than four, The Stones have more than five, etc… they play the same shite over and over. I had to flush ’em.
I actually am a big fan of CBC Music, to tell the truth. I discovered we have a helluva lot of great music in Canada!

Damn budget cuts. Still, I so enjoy pretty much all of the programmes… And, thanks to my listening to them, can actually watch the Junos and recognise the artists! Once upon a time there was only Anne Murray and Rush 😉

Shaking all Over is not my favorite Guess Who song, but the video is appropriate for the time of year, if a couple of days late 😉 (And I’ll leave the obvious one still up for grabs) https://youtu.be/f2lCDQ8j9bE

I haven’t had time to listen to any yet, so I wasn’t sure if it was taken yet or not… I was looking for an album I used to listen to as a kid – I only remember the cover, and just discovered it was a greatest hits – no wonder it was my favorite album by them 😉 Yeah, looking at that album there are a few mega-hits, not just the obvious!

But all of those songs stuck with me 😉 Second confession – a lot of my music tastes from the 70s cam from that same brother 😉 Our tastes have grown apart a bit over the years, but it is where I got my start…

You have very good taste.
I’m from Winnipeg. I knew Burton. He was a good bit older, but he was always very sweet to me.He took the time to buy me a coke at the Sals (which I believe he owns now)
Winnipeg adores him. He is a hero there. I get it!

I’m sure they are well loved there. I sometimes forget that they are a Canadian band, though the defiantly do not have the British sound. And cheating on my side – growing up, my older brother had a greatest hits album (they are under a bridge or a pier or something on the cover) that he listened to quite often in the late 70s, so that is why I know and love those songs. It was a cassette, so he listened to it in the car….

… cassette…. ah the good old days.
Most people from Winnipeg, even if they were just born, love the Guess Who… esp. Burton. They named a very famous theatre after him. It was the Walker Theatre.
In 1916, Nellie McLung and her gals performed a play there. It was a mock parliament, and men were the underdogs. Women ruled. Women got the vote in Manitoba the next year. Canada the year after.
Now, it is the Burton Cummings Theatre.

Happy weekend and happy concert time! Loved The Guess Who growing up and offer as this week’s contribution, No Sugar Tonight from the American Woman album. This group always put a smile on my face with it’s snappy drumming and hope this weekend’s attendees are as transported back to the time this first aired. Happy weekend. https://youtu.be/yMG-Mi9I0-k

This is my favorite Guess Who song to sing along with in the car, Undun. I wasn’t sure about this old vid, because all the photos I’ve ever seen of Cummings don’t look like this guy. I saw the band perform in Columbus when I was at Ohio State, but a different (also very good) singer by then. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cTds0422x7g

Okay… you all picked the songs that are may faves. No one has taken the obvious big hit, but also there are no BTO songs. Huh? I’m flipping a coin. Okay it landed on its side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MyeHH5uJzY&amp; I’m Laughing!

Frank, Love Rain Dance! So many really great songs to choose from. I’m surprised there’s no BTO, yet, or the Guess Who biggie. I’ll try to return tomorrow with more. Love these guys!!!
Thank you for this wonderful concert!

I hope that I didn’t overlook someone else’s posting, but this is one of my favorites, Burton Cummings “I Will Play a Rhapsody,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMtFeCcDwK8
This particular video is only a couple of years old, and as with most artists, it’s not the recording we all remember, but it’s still beautiful and I am a big fan! 🙂

Betsy,
Well … a bit before your time. Although no BTO songs yet, I expect them tomorrow. Meanwhile, if you listen to the songs above, I’ve got the feeling more than a few will cause “I’ve heard that before.” … Meanwhile, a song for you … can’t believe it’s available … American Woman … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_3yeQeBOAI

Yahooey,
Now is a great song for a concert opener. Pretty sure I heard it as that the first time I saw them in concert. I considered this one for day 2 opener, but wanted to work in a little different style in Blue Collar.
